| dc.description.abstract | In Indonesia, tooth extraction is the most common practice in dentistry. A successful indicator
of tooth extraction is a perfect healing process. One of the parameters of a perfect healing process is epithelial
formation. Based on previous research, arabica coffee fruit skin has proven potential to accelerate the wound
healing process. The compounds in the arabica coffee fruit skin are mostly composed of flavonoids, tannins,
and chlorogenic acid. Purpose: This research is proposed to understand the beneficial effect of arabica coffee
fruit skin (Coffea arabica) towards the increase of epithelial thickness in post tooth extraction socket. Material
and Method: The type of this research was laboratory experimental in vivo with post-test only control group
design using 24 Wistar rats as a sample. The sample was separated into two groups, control and intervention
groups with 12 Wistar rats each. Treatment in both groups was given during 3, 5, and 7 days. Afterward, tissue
processing undergoes with buccolingual cutting and HE coloring. Measurements are carried out with the
ImageRaster software in the thickest and thinnest part of the epithelium that covers the tooth socket. Result:
Epithelial thickness after tooth extraction increased significantly (p<0.05) in the intervention group compared
to the control group. | en_US |
